Abstract
High resolution FTIR spectra of the $\nu_{2}/\nu_{4}$ and the $\nu_{1}/\nu_{3}$ bands of $^{120}SnD_{4}$ have been measured with a Bruker 120 HR interferometer. The sample was prepared under vaccum using a two step synthesis. The $\nu_{2}/\nu_{4}$ region ($425-620 cm^{-1}$) was studied using a liquid He-cooled bolometer, while an MCT detector was used in the $\nu_{1}/\nu_{3}$ region ($1275-1455 cm^{-1}$). The resolution of the spectra are $0.0033 cm^{-1}$ and 0.0024$cm^{-1}$, respectively. The measurement of the first and second stretching overtones is in progress, too. The results will be compared with those of normal stannane, $SnH_{4}$. In the case of normal stannane vibrational localisation has been found to take place in stretching vibrational overtones. Thus the dynamical symmetry of stannane, a spherical top molecule, has been found to become that of a prolate symmetric top.
